Thursday Results:
Regarding this morning's Nielsens, remember that the fast-affiliate ratings that came in at 11 a.m. ET/8 a.m. PT are not time zone-adjusted and typically understate live NFL telecasts. Despite that, NBC is currently #1 for the night among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in every key ratings category, including adult-female demos, in the fast-affiliate ratings.
· In metered-market results, which are time zone-adjusted, NBC Sports coverage of last night's Green Bay Packers-Seattle Seahawks NFL Kickoff game averaged a 16.8 rating, 28 share in household results from the 56 markets metered by Nielsen Media Research, a 4% gain from 2013 and the third-highest-rated in the metered markets ever for a Thursday NFL Kickoff game.
· NBC led primetime by a wide margin in metered-market household rating, averaging a 15.5/26 from 8-11 p.m. versus a 3.8/6 for CBS, a 1.6/3 for Fox and a 1.4/2 for ABC.
· Top local ratings for the Green Bay-Seattle game on NBC were: Milwaukee, 44.0/64; Seattle, 42.2/73; Minneapolis, 26.6/44; New Orleans, 25.2/38; Sacramento, 21.2/35; San Diego, 20.8/37; Denver, 20.7/34; Norfolk, 20.7/32; Nashville, 20.6/31; and Portland 20.4/38.
